I think the slightly uncanny valley happy and sad hellspawn really adds to the experience here.
Not necessarily a criticism of the game, but I hit back habitually to escape menus a few times, and not being able to skip back to where I was before as a little frustrating. If you could do that irritating thing pages do to disable back, I think it'd help defend idiots like me from ourselves a lot!
There is a wealth of content in tie-based puzzling, it seems. I had fun!
I tried playing this morning, but I couldn't seem to get the Clippy box to disappear except via the web dev toolkit, which felt a little violent, and the buttons below weren't active after I removed it -- is there a recommended play environment?
I have checked, and it seems that there was a problem with the WebSocket connection in Chromium-based browsers.
Unfortunately, I was unable to test this beforehand, because my Chromium is broken 😢
I have fixed the problem now! 🙂
Please try again! Depending on how long the page takes to load, you might need to wait a couple of seconds for Clappy to become active.
Disabling Clappy via Devtools should be done with care, removing the wrong div will cause everything to be irresponsive. You can do document.getElementById('clappy').classList.add('hidden') to “gracefully” disable Clappy from the Devtools!
I have also added the recommended setup to the itch.io page 😄
I actually tried both in Firefox and in Chrome, but it looks like it works fine now, anyway! It's possible Firefox ESR behaves like Chromium while Firefox bleeding edge doesn't, or that Private Browsing triggered the same behaviour, I suppose?

Thanks for the review! 😄
I’m glad you had fun despite the frustration with the back button!
I agree that losing progress by leaving the page is less than ideal, so I added back button guard.
